How much is a dynamic website that harvests information from the internet worth?

    Hello all.. I havent written much but appreciate reading a lot..
    I am looking for advise on my unique website, www.freecityinfo.com.
    The code is written to allow Google's bot to crawl continually until it has indexed every city and neighborhood in the world.
    So for example if I anchor-text backlink the city of Detroit for free information the page will be created by the PHP when the link is clicked, the collection of inet API's and sources are searched and the results are presented for the user, and also cached for later search results by google.
    I am looking for advise on advertising and additional features I could add to make this site more valuable.

    What would you estimate the value of a site with pages full of useful relevant content and advertising for every city in the world?

    Thanks

    It has no value unless it is generating revenue and doesn't present copyright issues.

    It definitely makes money from the advertising, CPM and CPC, I could throw an exit interstitial on there too.. The content is all provided for free through API or RSS or widgets provided online, the code was fashioned to use these existing tools to produce a point of interest and useful information based on location.

    If anyone wants to take a look, try out there city and see, there are a few search bugs but everything is working.

    That would depend on how many people use it..
    I think if there was a FB like Wall for each city people could make "tweets" on the wall.. Kind of like a community bullitin board.
    Hmm.. This could be big..
